Universal code for factory stereo?
The fire department disconected my battery when I got into the accident a couple weeks ago.
This, unfortunately, puts on the anti theft "LOC" on the stereo.
The car had the battery disconnected when I got it, and I paid a Chevy dealer $70.00 to "reset" it. (my mother-in-law didn't have the code).
I don't feel like paying again, is there a universal code? Or a way to get the code with the VIN?

I thought dealers would give you the code if you gave them your vin number. If that doesn't work you could try calling Pontiac and giving them your vin number to get the code. Write it down this time.
